Abstract:
Evidence has been accumulating in support of the successful role primary care plays in health promotion, disease and death prevention, and more equitable distribution of health resources across populations. In Colorado, a group of health plans formed and self-funded the Multi-Payer Collaborative (MPC) in 2012, focused on transforming primary care and reforming health care payment in their state. With support from the Center for Evidence-based Policy, the MPC developed this Framework for Integration of Whole-Person Care (adapted from the work of Thomas Bodenheimer and colleagues). The Framework provides a roadmap for primary care practices as they seek to provide advanced levels of care, including the integration of behavioral and social health, and it prepares them to receive more advanced models of payment. The Framework also provides guidance for payer organizations migrating toward advanced payment models that pay for value delivered through integrated, comprehensive, whole-person, population-based approaches. The Framework has implications for supporting care transformation, financing and advanced payment methods, and public policy.
